I just set up my new M4 Mac Mini and ran some of my old Common Lisp render code, and OMG this thing is fast!
On my previous machine, this code rendered a single 100 million element image in ~25 seconds, and now it takes 4! This is going to be a game changer for my interactive work. 
2) I can define custom keybindings for each application. If I want to make search in Librewolf with C-s, go to address bar with M-x and move page up/down with C-v/M-v (so, I want Emacs keybindings in my browser), then I use this code:

Top 2 StumpWm features (for me):
1) I can display anything in modeline. If I get rid of standard bubble notifications and want to display brightness/volume bars not in the floating notification but right in the bottom bar, temporarily replacing all its data with progress bar — then … it is simple:

DandeGUI now supports rich text for window output. DandeGUI is the GUI library for Medley Interlisp I'm writing in Common Lisp.

Since cl-series generates native common lisp code by working at macro expansion time, I consider it suitable for my software individuals (who want only clos-less common lisp and their own logic (which they have an introspective theory of).
In particular, I use series to cut out rectangular subsequence of sequences -s

@farooqkz Common Lisp - there are at least *Movitz* (https://movitz.common-lisp.dev/) and *Mezzan* (https://github.com/froggey/Mezzano). #commonlisp #lisp #baremetal
What #unixlike operating systems do you know which are easy to port? Something like #NetBSD. I wonder if there is anything written in #commonlisp or #rust
There are some options but I'm not sure how much easy are they to port. I've heard many positive comments about bare metal development using Rust. I wonder how is common lisp in this regard.
I have extensive programming experience but not on bare metal or kernel programming.
Boosts for wider participation in the discussion are welcome.
Just realized how #firstWorldProblems this post might actually sound. Like "Stop introducing your custom syntax into my #programming setup" is quite unfathomable to most programmers, because their languages have an unchangeable syntax that they need an extra layer of compilers/transpilers/evaluators to extend. And here, in #CommonLisp, we just define our own syntaxes and hate each other for it. Lisper problems indeed.
How can I get in touch with Gilbert Baumann, the maintainer of the Common Lisp Nova Spec? https://novaspec.org
I'd like to suggest a feature. Typing a string in the search box brings up a list of matching entries, and mouse-clicking one opens the corresponding page. It would be handy to navigate the list with the up/down keys and press ENTER to select.
Who in the world though it a good idea putting their custom readtables into libraries intended for outside use? I don't want your hash table syntax, I want MINE. Don't pollute the readtable and other aspects of someone else's image if you're providing a library. The library you're making should be portable and clean #CommonLisp, not some unreadable #DSL you use in your #REPL. It's fine in the REPL, but not in libraries. Keep it clean. Simple courtesy.
Not pointing fingers, but everyone doing that shall be ashamed.
Sorta started .. but man, ansi-test is kinda annoying in how it loads things. LOAD for the win or something, no DEFSYSTEM or anything .. sighs. #Lisp #CommonLisp #LispM #LispMachine
Oh, #StumpWm is an incredible thing! 
Connected my StumpWm instance to the Emacs REPL to configure fonts. And found that (xft:cache-fonts) can't find my fonts. 
Go to clx-truetype sources, found that *font-dirs* looks like points to the wrong catalog suitable for Linux but unsuitable for FreeBSD — and confirmed this inside REPL 
So I change the variable in the _runtime_ inside the running process and now my fonts are found!
There's more to avoiding calling Lisp homoiconic because it's an inaccurate or incomplete characterization. As Shriram Krishnamurthi @shriramk points out, this misses the point of why Lisp languages are different. To capture this he introduces the concept of "bicamerality".
